Eftimios,
I take it you're using a GENERAL or GENERAL WITH NULLS parameter style when
you create a function. These parameter styles require a service program
function as a target of the UDF.
Check out documentation for SQL or DB2SQL parameter styles. These allow for
a program to be used as a target.
You can find an example in the redbook "Stored Procedures, Triggers, and
User-Defined Functions on DB2 Universal Database for iSeries", which you can
download at this link:

Take a look at section 15.6.1, 'Coding the SQL parameter style'.

Thanks Elvis,
All of the documentation I've seen only refers to service programs, so I'm
intrigued by your solution.
How do I get the value back from a normal program?
The service program/procedure solution uses the return value of the
procedure to return via the function. How do I achieve this with a program
and parameters?
